Iain’s ornate magnetic boxes tie seamlessly into the colours of Chinese New Year – red for good fortune and joy, and gold for beauty and prestige – making them a stunning gift option for those celebrating the occasion around the world!

Scottish Take on Chinese Style

Traditionally, sweet candied fruits or vegetables are placed in cups of tea at Chinese New Year. Iain offers a Scottish spin on this tradition, with his range of gourmet chocolate dipped fruits – orange sunrises, lemon slices, cherries and whole clementines.

Chinese Ginger

Ginger is considered a strengthening food in Chinese culture – Confucius insisted on having ginger with every meal. Fiery Chinese ginger on dark chocolate surely qualifies. Equally enjoyable in either handmade bars or florentines
